Compassionate leave: Emmanuel Adebayor has been given time off by Spurs.

Emmanuel Adebayor has been given compassionate leave by Tottenham after revealing he contemplated suicide.

He has already been ruled out of Sunday’s final game of the season against Everton and he will not go on their post-season tour of Malaysia and Sydney.

It means he has almost certainly played his last game for the club.

The troubled Togolese striker, 31, has held urgent talks with his club after the latest round of his explosive public war of words with his family.

Mirror Sport today published his disturbing allegations that he had to be talked out of killing himself by his sister Iyabo.

Family issues, the boy is depressed.

Money can't buy away depression, him sef he be human being oh!

His family should not forget that if they lose him, they're done!

Hhian!

Hmmmm

That's the problem with us here in Africa, Many of us become lazy when we have a wealthy brother or sister that we can rely on.
That's the problem with Emmmanuel, he is a wealthy footballer and his family members believes they can bring all their financial problems on him.
Many of them would have been thinking of how to share his properties after his death, infact they may even be planning to kill him so as to share his properties..

Lazy goats....

Ok...good club management.

Not like PDP

Craze family

Is he still playing at Whitelane?

Wow! Father save us from family members that were sent for our downfall. Take it easy Emmanuel and look for joy in your life.

Adebayor, Adebayor. Adebayor.

How many times I called you.

Leave Togo & come back to your father land.

They don't love you. No be by force.

They prefer poverty, so be it

I think it is time for him to quit 'honourablely'

Is he still playing at Whitelane

But if Adebayor had ignored all this Rantings from his family wouldn't it have been better

family issues................best distance dem for peaceful coexistence

gbaguan!!, what are this, common English you cannot even spoke

Honestly, there's a way family members can frustrate you when you're the bread-winner or the richest one in the family. Any normal thing you say or do becomes pride and some of them start hitting you with words like "is it because of the money you have?, you're not God etc"

At the end of the day, the collective stress burdens the heart, then the concerned party feels rejected by those who he has sacrificed a lot for. Family trouble is one hell of a nightmare I tell you.

And the worst part is that people were blaming Adebayor when he couldn't hold it inside anymore. I wish the guy all the best.
Iyabo, please take care of him, you're all he's got right now.

Bluetooth

every family has its own wranglings, i dont know why he chose to market his globally..

He needs to stay away from them

Frontpage

why does he want to kill himself. Many people are looking for people to kidnap for money rituals. He is just being selfish. He should just submit himself to them

wetin b suicide

His public outpour of frustration and anger with his family suggests a desperate attempt to find a confidante.

All that money and no true friends.

That's why they say the Rich also Cry

Wow he needs help his club should not abandon him he needs a Dr Phil

Africa and witch hunting are synonymous.

He should swallow his ego and reconcile with his family, the conflict is weighing the dude down.
